- •
This study used Bayesian spatial methods to assess the distribution of surgically managed CE cases in an endemic region of north-eastern Iran.
- •
Besag, York and Mollie (BYM) spatial model was used to produce standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) for surgically managed cases of CE for the 35 counties represented in this study.
- •
To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to spatially evaluate human CE case distribution using a BYM model.
